Just a fast question?

Does this return the short string as in regards to the browser name and the
OS they are using?  First off, I sit here Dumbfounded as to WHY I have never
used this and secondly, if I was going to collect this info and store it ina
table, I was wondering if I would need more then one column for the return
of this tag.

Thanks
